Taylor 800 Series Acoustic Guitars

Today talking about the very brand new Taylor 800 series collection.  The 800 series is the flagship part of Taylor’s line and we are so very proud of the new and innovative measures Taylor have taken to facelift the whole category; it is the pride and joy of our entire line.  So first, obviously the visual is what you are going to notice right out of the shoe, you notice the new rosewood are going to notice the pickguard, you are going to notice the brand new inlays.  We are going to have a maple strip on the back between the perfectly book matched Indian rosewood.  You are going to see smoked ebony on the fretboards and bridges, highlighting the variegation and the colour option ebony really has as you start to get involved with ebony and its really aggressively marbled nature.  And a new element fingerboard inlay that any powers are the master leaders design.  

Once you go underneath the hood you are going to start see things that really drive what makes the 800 series so prominent. First, it’s the finish.  Traditional guitars are consistent in Taylor glossy model’s 500 series and above have about a six to eight mil finish, that’s how we measure the thickness of the finish, and it really almost feels like a couple sheets of paper thick.  What that does is it gives you a really illustrious sheen to it and really kind of pops a lot of that grain.  With the new 800’s we are challenging the measure of finish down to about three or three and half mils, which in my opinion is just enough finish to make the guitar look wet.  What that does is it unlocks the fibers so the resignation and the tonality of the guitar can really start the bust through, and you start to get more voice out of the instrument, plain and simple. 

We at Music Now Online Australia are so glad they have moved to a hide glue and a fish glue for the bracing components, for the bridge and that’s really going to allow the guitar over time to meld together and become stronger and bond, i.e. giving you much more sonic transfer throughout the entire body of the instrument.  Lastly, every shape from Grand Concert to Grand Auditorium, dreadnought, grand symphony and grand orchestra, they all have their own very inspirational yet pertinent bracing pattern for each shape, which allows it to unlock the nuances per shape, not just making it a different variation of size but really giving it its own voice.  So particularly in the Grand Concert and the Grand Auditorium back braces will actually be slanted allowing more bass response and more punch on that low-end kick; really an interesting concept.  

Overall from the nylons to the twelve strings to the smallest body to the largest body, the 800 series has been completely drawn out and redesigned, taking our most prized collection of guitars and simply raising the bar. So with that when you want to check out something that’s beyond what you are used to in the Taylor guitars world, I really invite you to try the new 800 series collection and for all 800 series and anything Taylor Guitars just contact a Music Now Engineer.
